From a story perspective, W Drive and Gaim's stories have pretty much wrapped up. Shotaro and Philip are now protecting Fuuto like they always have. Shinnosuke is married and doing his job as a police officer. Kouta is chilling with Mai on his plannet. I'm mofe interested in Gou's quest to revive Chase and what are the other Armored Riders doing in Zawame

I will happily talk about it; I love that movie.

Don't forget guys, since Zi-O involves time travel, it's possible for the riders to visit any moment in time so with previous rider stories it's possible that they could have it set in the middle of the series rather than at the end.

Granted, that leaves the potential that they completely mess up the events of previous series thanks to time travel shenanigans so that is a potential black mark against the series.

We got the opening, bois. From Avex's youtube channel.

Rider OP lyrics used to foreshadow the Final Form in the past so I'm going to make a wild guess that Zi-O's Final Form will be called Nexus- a form created from the connection between Zi-O and his senpai Riders

So fun fact, all the behind the scenes posts that were typically on Toei's rider pages after they give you a short description about next episode? Well, it is now found on the Official Heisei Kamen Rider 20th Anniversary site.

Here's part 2 of the link above
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oUcW1k4kk7k

Also, Tsukoyomi is absolutely gonna be a Rider now lol

Part 3 is already out
https://youtu.be/fTzm_g6lEEc
Some notable keywords:
- Alpha, Omega, Sigma, Neo
- Shocker
- Super Sentai
- Evil
- Game
- Future

I'm a little confused about "Evil" and "Game". "Evil" might be a new Rider, but the name "Evil" doesn't sound right to me. "Game" sounds like it's Ex-Aid related, but why? There's already Ridewatch for each respective Rider in Ex-Aid, what does this "Game" do?

Finally I think "Future" will be related to the Final Form as in the opening song there's a line "Nexus Future"

Can't wait to see what other keywords will come out in part 4. Hopefully a Rider form for the prophet guy

Shinnosuke and Mii-tan :D

Considering some final forms leaked a while ago too and said 'Fin.' I think that's gonna be a name for a final form too

MY BOY SHIN AAAAAAA

I'm guessing 'Game' refers to stuff like Ganbarizing tie-ins.

Here's part 4 and possibly the last one. Nothing special except for the previous Rider Final Forms, which kinda confirms OOO's real Final Form. So I think we can end that debate now?

So, to me, the most interesting names here are: Tsukuyomi, Ancient, Singular, Nothing, Millennium and Max

I wonder if Singular has anything to do with Den-O Singular Point?

You know what, Evil might be for Oma Zi-O

Yeah, maybe you're right. And I think Max will be an upgrade for one of the Riders. Hope Tsukuyomi will get an upgrade and actually be useful in battle, not like Poppy

Well she will most likely get Poppy Ridewatch.

Apparently they are at a Chinese restaurant it seems, particularly of the this restaurant is so good according to word of mouth type. Must be one of those variety show promotions where they try the food, say good things about it, have some funny moments, and then share where it is located, etc.

I guess kiriko and he's pretty famous nowadays. She's modeling a lot and appear in a lot of shows. He's also the only or recent toku actor with 1.8 millions followers. https://mobile.twitter.com/takeuchi_ryoma

Just wait for narutaki to show up when decade hits. I love and hate the future zio plot. I kind of want the twist to be reveal and move on to the next arc. We kind of have 3 groups, the time jackers, woz, and Geiz/girl. Woz is the one that probably want history to flow the right way or it's a time paradox. Need to explain why everyone from the future have past rider powers or tech.

gou's goal is probably Eiji's goal. They chicken out in the movie war. It make perfect sense to revive ankh there.
Showa seems to be excluded since we have more than enough material and unlike decade retcon and rehashing riders to tell their own stories. Zio have its own twist and stories to tell. 555 have to be from the present since he's too old unless its in suit 2004. If they can't get the main or second rider back, it would be nice to see "in suit" version or allies from their respective series. Phillip is too busy and famous like Deno plus toku doesn't pay much. It's going to be joker only if we see w. I could see Grease's actor playing the grandson as a comedy relief. Maybe new Deno can come. Zio can open to a lot of different opportunities. Also, there's poseidon. So many future riders. However, zio is much more older an farther down in time than those three. He probably defeat and take all the legend powers and maybe the rebel group stole the tech. Zio is strong by himself already anyway. Kabuto, deno, and decade might be the more interesting choices for time traveling since they're pretty much have time and space dimensional traveling power themselves. I wonder if build will get an equal half out of the movie war. Episode 1 cgi wasn't the best with tiga like cgi for statues.

The new heroine actually get in the action out of suit again with her 555 phone like early kiriko and the mother daughter from Kiva. Hope her role won't be reduced or replaced and typecast in to a generic stereotypical bg support. Zio looks and feel like goseired to me and beside his born to be king dream, he isn't very charismatic to watch. It's good that the king's dream isn't something he thought up because of his ego like kyoryured or idk gentaro. Ok, new kiba is from 2030, Poseidon /aqua is from 2041, and new deno could be from 2050 though. There's Eiji's new drive as well from 2035, but I doubt the nininger writer will pay attention to continuity even if the original actors are available.

Again, kuuga is a nope. Really miss the day to day realistic darker and cynical plot with civilians roaming around like real people. It's too commercialize for him to return. He's more of an actor that see toku as stepping stone, but he appreciate the fame he receives and fans that enjoy the series. It's kind of like the original pr that joke about their bad set experiences and low pay like shinkenred and yuki from fourze.
Agito cameo decade like jdf in legend war and he did record lines for the games a few years ago, so maybe voice the suit. The same with gills.
Ryuki and knight also lend their voice before, so maybe voice over.
555 and Kaixa were confirm, but their stories ended in kr4 already and taisen, so more retcon to the tv series. Kaixa wasn't really a main character compares to kiba's group and mari. Maybe the snake will Cameo again.
The whole gang for blade promoted the bluray, but one of the four retire from acting. Blade and garren are free and reprised their roles before.
For hibiki, maybe the wolfman can reprise his dead role.
Imagins are easy. Idk about owner and rina akiyama.
Kabuto, despite being an anniversary series with many hopes, it's easily forgotten. Still good to me since it's my first subbed series despite I've seen some Raws of other toku in other languages before besides pr. Gattack was nostalgic and enthusiastic about the toys, so maybe. Yaguruma was in goonger 10th anniversary, so it's easy if they want at least one rider or ally from each heisei series.
Kiva-grease-new Kiva.
Decade-I forgot about au kuuga was the hidden 2nd rider really. Decade was in wizard and he's a power up for zio, so maybe since he's with garo now.
Black/black Rx and ichigo and v3 still reprises their veteran role like Gavan a lot, but idk if Showa are being explored. It's just time jumping around 2000-2018.
W,ooo,fourze,wizard,gaim,drive,ghost,exaid,and build are likely, but not if they want to feature one every two episodes since there's schedule conflict and monetary reason. Might save up the budget for the movie war.

Kamen Rider [character's actual name] generally isn't a great sign but I guess Geiz is that already so maybe Tsukuyomi could be an exception too. Wishful thinking.

IIRC, we've seen 'evil' or something to that effect a few times. The sound for Dark Ghost was just 'Dark Rider' and Hebitsukai Metal was 'Dark Kyutama'. So Oma Zi-O seems reasonable.

What's interesting about Tsukuyomi is that it also has a different standby sound than Zi-O and Geiz

Oh yeah, Ryoma is one of the number of young male actors in Japan who have steadily climbed up the success ladder these days not too long after his toku gig was done he is up there nowadays I feel alongside Gosei Red, ToQ1, Kyoryu Red, etc.

What I'm primarily hoping for is for Zi-O to have to accept that some dreams aren't realizable, which I think would be a a stern yet good moral for the show

So I saw something on my Twitter timeline that really excited me and I pray that this ends up being the case.

https://twitter.com/tokuswag/status/1036687628400119808

Based on some observations by a Japanese fan, Future King Zi-O's eyes are styled after Shocker's logo while the crest on his forehead represents Foundation X. If this ends up being the case, the long-running sub-story of Foundation X cultivating and duplicating Neo-Heisei rider powers could finally reach its climax here.

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DmMN5rcVsAArq-G.jpg

I mean, I've only seen the Shocker thing not the Foundation X thing. But it makes sense? Like I was either expecting Sougo's Uncle or like a long lost twin brother meant to be the True King TM to end up being Oma Zi-O. So a Sougo who got brainwashed by Shocker and Foundation X would be something I wasn't expecting.

I for one am currently liking and hoping Blade Raider's hypothesis of what if the real Sougo is Han Solo'd under that statue and Oma Zi-O is an imposter is true.

I really don't like that theory too much. I would much prefer it just being an evil future version of Sougo just so we could find out why he became the way he did and how Sougo can prevent it.

I concur. That theory, while plausible, would be pretty boring. It'd be much cooler to see older Sougo exposit on why he became "evil".

In the vein of time travel, I really hope this series does time travel right. As in, you time travel, because you always did. You can partake in events, but not change their outcome.

An idea just came to me. Maybe Takeru/Ghost fought alongside the rebels in the future, got killed by Oma Zi-O and gave Geiz the Ridewatch before dying. It would be cool if Takeru turns out to be Geiz's teacher

It would also mean Takeru died like 7 times

I'm sure nobody would mind that. Dying is Takeru's character trait anyway

Joe Odagiri is at Toei Studio to direct something and he has his Godai look. The gods are teasing me very badly

no way

Jesus, from what others here have said about his feelings on tokusatsu. Either the writing for the Kuuga tribute episode was beyond stellar, or the we're gonna be in for some more burning churches.

I think it's a coincidence and that he's doing his own thing with Toei BUT OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOD ALONGSIDE THAT CSM ARCLE AAAAAAA

Don't play with my feelings like this
